Early History 

irgSlESOTO and his armv. .,r rxplr.riiio 
IP] first white men to vimI this,' I h .1 S 
ILE^I faintly refers to thc-ir .-I'unii h.-rc 1 
1541-42. A French history, li'ini uliirh In. 
of Little Rock, kindly furnished the writer with a translation 
for publication in his first work on Hot Springs ( 1S74), 
stated the fact that DeSoto and his men spent the winter of 
1541-42 at Hot Lakes. As there are no hot lakes in this part 
of America, and no other hot springs, it is readily conceded 
that this is the place referred to. Another good reason for 
this conclnsion is because DeSoto died within about two hun- 
dred miles of Hot Springs, near a point where the line divid- 
ing tile States of Arkansas and Louisiana crosses the Mississ- 
ippi Ri\er. This was on May 21. 1542, only a few weeks 
atur leaving Hot Springs. 

Soon after the Louisiana Purchase by President Thomas 
Jeft'erson, in 1804. he sent the exploring party of Hunter and 
Dunbar to the Hot Springs for the purpose of making an 
examination of the hot waters and the surrounding country. 
The only improvements they found were split board huts and 
a log cabin which had been built liy French trappers in the 
fall of iSoo. They took the temperature of the hot springs 
and examined the surrounding mountains and cold

The Hot Springs 

HERE are forty-four hot springs with an average tem- 
perature of 135° Fahrenheit, the hottest being 157°. 
_, They discharge about 800.000 gallons per day, and are 
_.. located on the U. S. Government Reservation. 

The Character and Action of the Waters 

The source of the heat is believed to be great masses of 
igneous rock intruded in the earth's crust by volcanic agen- 
cies. Deep-seated waters converted into vapors by contact 
with this heated mass probably ascend through fissures 
toward the surface where they meet cold springs, which are 
heated by the vapors. 

The waters are radio-active in a marked degree, and to 
the presence of this rare element in gaseous form is now 
generally attributed their salutary efifects. The baths create 
a reaction accompanied by an elevation of Iiody temperature, 
accelerated heart action with diniiin-hcl Mood pressure in 
the arteries, and a stimulation o.f tlie niitiitne changes in the 
tissue cells, especially those comp..-ing the organs of elimina- 
tion and those concerned in the formation of the blood. 

The hot waters may reasonably be expected to give relief 
in the following conditions : In gout or rheumatism after the 
acute or inflammatory stage ; in neuralgia when dependent 
upon gout, rheumatism, malaria, or metaliic poisoning: in the 



carlv stages of chronic Bright's disease; in catarrhal conditions 


After a thorough investigation by Dr. Boltwood

U. S. Government Control 

][IE United States Government made a reservation of 
springs and surrounding country and tool< posses- 
sion of them in 1832. setting them apart as a "Na- 
tional Park and Sanitarium for all time." This was done 
after an investigation by Congress had demonstrated that the 
waters were beneficial for many of the ailments that human- 
ity is heir to, and too great a public blessing to become a 
monopoly in the hands of individuals. 



Government Impi 

The bath houses pay a license to the Government for the 
use of the water, and all the revenue derived from this source 
and from other rentals is spent in improving the reservation. 
An elaborate system of parks has been laid out, on the 
mountains and in the valleys; fifteen miles of beautiful moun- 
tain drives and foot paths have been constructed, marble hot 
water drinking fountains have been erected, flowers and 
shrubbery have been planted, and all for the free enjoyment 
and benefit of the people of the whole country. Over a half 
million dollars have been spent by the Government in this 

Hot Springs is the seat of the general hospital of the 
Army and Navy, where the Government .sends those of both 
branches of the service too sick for treatment at its ordinary 
hospitals. .Additional quarters are being provided, and a 
large new building is now under construction for the accom- 
modation of old soldiers needing treatment. A new free bath 
house is contemplated in the near future, and other extensive 
improvements, larger and nicire beautiful than any that have 
been made. 



The Bath Houses 

There are twenty-three pay bath houses operated under 
rules and regulations approved by the Secretary of the In- 
terior. Eleven arc on the reservation at the base of Hot 
Springs Mountain, constituting what is known as "Bath 
House Row," and twelve are located at various points in the 
city. Eleven are in connection with hotels, hospitals, or sani- 
toria. The water is the same in all, but the prices charged for 
the baths vary in the different iiouses in accordance with the 
equipments and accommodations furnished. The rates are 
fixed in each instance by the Secretary of the Interior.

The attendant's fee charged in all bath houses is $3 for the 
course of 21 baths, or 15 cents for single baths. 

Frequent and regular inspections of the various bath 
houses, together with a dose watch at all times over them, 
have resulted in giving rafe public a scientific administration

The City of Hot Springs 

ilOT SPRINGS, a cosmopolitan city of 15.000 resident 
population, is located fifty-five miles west of Little 
Rock, the State Capital and metropolis of Arkansas. It 
is located on the pine-clad foothills of the Ozarks, at an ele- 
vation of from six hundred to twelve hundred feet above sea 
level. On account of this elevation, the complete sewerage 
and drainage systems, water-works and well-paved streets, 
Hot Springs boasts of the lowest death-rate of any city in the 
United States. There i- ,1 -.^,,1 1, lu, .unl lire department. 




four banks, two daily papers, nineteen churches and ten scliool 
I)uildings. Central Avenue, the principal business street, with 
its great number of electric signs, suggests to the New 
Yorker the "Great White Way." 

A City of Many Possibilities 

A Health Sanitarium 

The future of Hot Springs was never brighter than at 
this time. The disastrous fire of September 5th, which de- 
stroyed some forty blocks of the residence district and a few 
business houses on Malvern and Ouachita avenues, did not 
in any way cripple our hotel and bath house facilities. In 
fact, only two hotels of importance were destroyed — the Park 
Hotel and the Moody. The latter is now being rebuilt and 
will open February 15th. The principal business street and 
Bath House Row were uninjured, notwithstanding the false 
newspaper reports. The city is rebuilding on a more elab- 
orate plan than ever, and a "City Beautiful" is rising from the 
ashes. Hot Springs has long been known as America's great- 
est health resort. The Government has recognized the virtues 
in the wonderful radio-active hot waters, and the ever-increas- 
ing stream of health seekers proclaims the greatness of its 
health-giving baths. 

As a sanitarium city, Hot Springs offers the best field in 
the United States. Its topography is very similar to Carls- 
bad, Germany, while its all-the-year-round climate is unsur- 
passed, and with its world-fam^^ hot waters its future great- 
advan 



ness along this line, if taken advantage of. 



sured. 



Tlie I. O. B. B. Society is now erecting a Leo N. Levi Me- 
morial Hospital at a cost of one hnndred thousand dollars. 
It will be a charity hospital and will be open to all creeds. 
This is evidence of an awakening along this line and it is 
rumored that another sanitarium on even a much greater 
scale, is alnr.;st assured in the near future. 

A Pleasure Resort 

As a pleasure resort Hot Springs offers many advantages. 
The model Government roads, with the scenic environs, the 
mild climate at all seasons, make outdoor sports possible. 
There are many interesting points a few miles distant. Good 
fishing and hunting are offered in season. A model Country 
Club and full course golf links are open to the visitors at a 
nominal fee. The Southern National Highway, which will be 
constructed from ocean to ocean, is assured, and will pass 
through Hot Springs. With the coming of these great en- 
terprises. Hot Springs will take on even greater civic pride, 
and more parks and boulevards will be in order. 

A Manufacturing City 

Hot Springs is located in almost the center of Arkansas, a 
State that is at present advancing faster than any other in the 
South, on account of its many resources. Rich in its timber, 
coal, minerals and precious stones, it is none the less rich in 
the production of its soil. The great movement of manu- 
factories to locate near the supply of raw material has caused 
many to turn to Arkansas on account of her varied and un- 
developed resources. Her rivers offer cheap power and trans- 



portation. Hot Springs has at her door vast deposits of pot- 
tery clay, Ouachita oil and whetstone, also vast tracts of 
hardwood timber. With the completion of the proposed Gar- 
land Power Dam on the Ouachita River, six miles from the 
city, which would form a lake many miles in length, Hot 
Springs would offer another line of amusements to her many 
pleasure seekers. Besides the cheap power developed it would 
offer still greater inducements to manufacturers to locate here, 
and a brighter future would be in store for Hot Springs, truly 
a "City of Many Possibilities." All these good things will not 
come without the co-operation and concerted eft'orts on the 
part of our citizens. Let us lay aside all petty differences and 
work for a Greater and Better Hot Sfrings.

Cold Mineral Springs 

SPRINGS can linast imt only of licr famous Hot 
-Sprinss. Init si-vcral cM mineral springs in this vicinity 
re well patronized on accinnt of llieir medicinal prop- 
Visitors snfifcring from kidney and bladder trouble 
and the early stages of Bright's disease find tliat often best 
results are obtained when these waters are drunk in connec- 
tion with the baths. The Mountain Valley Springs, one of 
the most noted, is located twelve miles north of the city. A 
hotel is conducted here and the water shipped to all parts of 
the United States. An office and drinking pavilion is also 
maintained at 252 Central .Ave. Other cold mineral sprin.gs 
of note arc the DeSoto Springs, on Central .Vvenue. where a 
handsome spring house and drinking pavilion have been 
erected. Other springs are the Potash Sulphur. Siiring Lake. 
Ozark. Litbia. Waverly. .Arsenic. .Mien's. White Sulphur, 
Thousand Drii]ping and Cutter's Clu'iter Springs. 

All-the-Year-Round Resort 

For health, pleasure and sight-seeing all the year round. 
Hot Springs is visited by a larger average of guests than any 
other walerirg resort, being 150.COO annually. 

Rut it is the average montlily hus'ness that is the most re- 
markable, there being only two months, October and Novem- 
ber, that can really be called dull. 

Our delightful all-year climate, as well as the well-known 
efticacy of tjie thermal waters <i( all times, makes Hot Springs 
a )ileasant .-md dcsiralile place of resort at any season of the 

Horseback Riding and Driving on Model 
Roads '.'" 

Horseback riding and driving arc popular amusements at 
the Springs. The Government has built fine roads on the 
Reservation, one leading to the Steel Tower on Hot Springs 



.Mountain, where the view of the surrounding coiuury is an in- 
spiration to all lovers of woodland scenery. There are many 
enjoyable side trips on fine pike roads to many cold springs 
and puints of interest, among them Mount Valley Springs, 
twelve miles north; Ozark Lithia Springs, eight miles north: 
Potash Sulphur, seven miles south ; Spring Lake, six miles 
southeast. White Sulphur Springs , Thousand Dripping 
Sprin.sis. Cutter's Cluster Springs and Hell's Half .Acre are 
located three and a half to four and a half miles east of tlie 
city in good pike roads. 

How to Reach Hot Springs 

This city is reached by liitli the St. Louis. Iron Mountain 
and Southern and the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific rail- 
reads. The Memphis. Dallas and Gulf Railroad is building 
in from the west, and the Little Rock and Hot Springs Elec- 
tric Railway have incorporated, and expect to have the long-

1 !' I ."^juings a tlirough east and west transportation service in 
r..iiiiiiutii>n with the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Railroad. 

Expenses at Hot Springs 

Many people have an idea that a visit to Hot Springs 
necessitates a great deal of expense, but such is not tlie case. 
While visitors can spend as much money here, if they desire, 
as in any city, there is no place in the country where one can 
live more cheaply. Below is given a statement showing the 
range of cost of comfortable accommodations, medicine and 
medical .attendance, liathing. etc.. from which it will be seen 
that visitors who desire to be economical, can live well and 
enjoy all the benefits of the baths arm hot water with an ex- 
penditure of as little as $59 per month.

Registered Physicians 

ly registered physicians who are allowed to pre- 
the waters of the hot springs are those licensed 
ioners of the State of Arkansas who have been 
examined by a Federal board of medical examiners appointed 
by the Secretary of the Interior. Visitor- ni\- warmd that 
physicians who have not passed the Feder.il Iniaiil :in>l lieen 
registered in the superintendent's office, are nut pLrnnttcd to 
make use of the baths in the treatment of their patients. 
This rule is for the protection of visitors who, if they desire 
the baths, should, before employing a physician, procure from 
the Superintendent of the Reservation a list of the qualified 
practitioners. 

iriiilc the baths may he taken leilhoiit the advice of a phy- 
sician by firociiring a permit at the various bath honses^ this 
/'ractise is not recommended. Patients ii'/io assume to de- 
termine the nature of their aiiments. and to prescribe for 
themselves, often fail to obtain the desired relief. The zeatcrs 
are not beneficial in all diseases and in some are harmful. It 
is a useless expenditure of time and money to take the baths 
for a disease that K'iV/ not he benefited by them and such 
procedure can result only in delaying proper treatment. 

Physicians' fees are from $25 a month up, according to 
the treatment required ; physical examination and bathing 
directions only, $5. 

risitors are advised for their own protection that soliciting 
for hotels, boarding-houses, or doctors on the trains running 
into Hot Springs is in violation of law, and are zi'arned 
against heeding the advice of irresponsible and unknown per-

ing-house in which tlie solicitation of patronage for doctors 
is allowed.

the office of the Superintendent of the Hoit Springs Reserva- 
tion, and duly authorized by the United States Government to

The Business Men's League 

I lie Business Men's League of Hot 
Springs, Ark., is one of the most 
progressive organizations in the South. 
It is composed of business men represent- 
ing every commercial and professional in- 
terest. 

Their sphere of action lies in the pro- 
motion of the best interests of the com- 
munity, in exploiting the virtues of the 
world-renowned hot waters and in further- 
ing any project that makes for increased 
prosperity. 

The League is housed in their own 
building, — a building that for architectural 
beauty and dimensions would be a credit to 
any community. 

An illustrated booklet is issued by the 
League, which gives full information re- 
garding Hot Springs, copies of whicli are 
furnished upon request.

Famous as an Athletic Training - Ground 

OT SPRINGS has long been recogni/ol a- an u\(. 
place for all classes of athletes to get in i-.m-liii^ 'ii, ai 



many a prize-fighter has "come back atui- takmi;

Battling Nelson attriliutes his wonderful success in the 
ring to the fact that he does his training here, and perhaps 
his long and successful pugilistic career was made possible 
by his frequent visits to the "Fountain of Youth." Speaking 
of "coming back" reminds me of the fact that the Pittsburg 
Baseball Club has continued to come back annually for over 
ten years to do its spring training, having a well-equipped 
baseball park on Whittington Avenue which is leased to 
them for a number of years. The standing of this Club each 
year in the National League race reflects much credit on its

able manager, Mr. Fred Clark, and I commend him lor his 
good judgment in the selection of the training-ground. We 
are very fortunate indeed to have Clark, Wagner & Co. as 
annual visitors to our city. 

The Boston Red Sox have trained here for several years 
and had the Majestic ball park built especially for them. It is 
reached by the "Oak Lawn" car line. Many members of the 
other major and minor league baseball clubs make annual visits 
here in the spring, among the most noted being Denton (Cy ) 
T. Young, one who has elevated the profession more than any 
other man, "The Grand Old Man of Baseball." We trust that 
his retirement from the game will not rob his many Hot 
Springs friends of his gracious presence. The writer pre- 
dicts that not less than five hundred baseball players will be 
here next March, taking the baths and getting into condition, 
making Hot Springs the WORLD'S GRE.\TEST ATH- 
LETIC TRAINING GROUNDS.

New Imperial Bath House 

UST twenty years ago the old Imperial Bath House 
was built and at its completion, and until it was re- 
cently torn down and the new Imperial Bath House 
it was the finest and best bath house in Hot Springs. 

The New Imperial Bath House has been built regardless 
of cost and strictly under the supervision and inspection of 
the U. S. Medical Director and the Department of the In- 
terior by and through the Superintendent of the U. S. Reser- 
vation at Hot Springs, and is one among the best constructed, 
finest and }uost siifici'bly and scicntHically equipped bath 
lioiises ill America or Europe. 

Its construction is of cut stone, pressed brick and rein- 
forced concrete. All outside walls are lined with hollow 
brick, there being no wood surfaces e.\cept the narrow janili 
for doors and windows — the doors being practically all 
chipped plate glass and brass surfaces. 

All floors are ceramic tile with cove and round corners- 
hospital regulation — joining the wainscoting, making it sani 
tary and impossible to catch dust or dirt in the angles. 

The private dressing rooms are constructed entirely of 
marl lie and tile and one person has exclusive use ui room. 

Dressing rooms for ladies are equipped with a mirror built 
in the tile wall, plate glass shelf, sanitary chair, hat and 
clothes hooks, and are on the second floor, being reached by 
three stairways or by an electric controlled elevator, carrying 
men and women separately in perfect privacy. 

The bath tubs are solid porcelain, of the latest design and 
the most expensive made, being porcelain enameled both in- 
side and outside, absolutely sanitary and are the only batli 
tubs of this quality used in any bath house in Hot Springs. 

The vapor bath rooms are found in connection with each 
bath room, have outside walls of Italian marble, and lined 
inside with wire glass, with air space between glass and 
marble walls. 



No iron or steel cabinets or hot air cabinets are used by 
this house. 

The after-bath sweat room is of ceramic tile with win- 
dows six feet above floor line, equipped with lounges of all 
steel, white enamel baked finish, solid welded. 
The Hydrotherapy Department 

This bath house has the most complete, scientific and su- 
perb equipment of any bath house known, constructed of mar- 
ble, porcelain and tile, approved by the U. S. Government 
after inspection by the U. S. Medical Director. 




Office and Grand Stairway. 



All known treatments in hydrotherapeutics are given to 
both men and women under supervision of a professor in 
charge, who will also give electric light bath, violet ray bath, 
electricity (galvanic or faradic) baths, sitz bath, Nauheim 
(champagne) bath identical vvitli or said to be equal to the 
baths at Nauheim. Germany, the shower, needle, spinal and 
liver baths and shampoo treatment. 

Heat and ventilation is of the highest standard known and 
installed under plans furnished by the most noted and suc- 
cessful engineers in the United States, first having been ap- 
proved by the U. S. Government. 



The air is changed entirely in each room every fifteen min- 
utes, and the fresh cold air is drawn in from screened open- 
ings at the top of one of the highest towers of the house. 

The system is so perfect that the changing currents of 
pure fresh hot air are not appreciable, and as an evidence of 
this the visitor will note the rooms are entirely free from 
any odors peculiar to bathing establishments. 

The hot water spring from which the water is received for 
use is itself nine feet under the surface of the mountainside, 
entirely covered, so all gases and heat are confined, and is 
tapped by a galvanized insulated water pipe and reaches our 
air-tight insulated steel tank by gravity at 135° F. 




Hydrotherapeutic Depi 



mperial Bath Roon 



This water has to be cooled for bathing. 

This ic an important condition to accomplish in order to 
give the greatest curative benefits to the bather, and to keep 

or insects carried in the air. hut greater than all to confine the 
radio-activity due to dissolved radium (a gas) and other gases 
which are the principal curative and healing agencies in this water. 

We cool this watei without exposing it to the air or light, 
and confine and retain all these gases just the same as it runs 
out of the spring, until it enters the bath tub. 

Our water tanks are water sealed, air tight. We cool the 
water by a system of evaporating the heat from the water, 
taking the water from the hot water tank, passing it through 
this system into the cold water tanks, reducing the heat to 85" 
F. during the hottest summer weather and without at any time

Ijadles' Dressing Booms. 

In the early history of Hot Springs, bathing in these waters 
was all done in an open pool, where the spring emptied directly 
into tlie pool, with water of a temperature to permit bathing in. 
and the most wonderful and greatest average of cures were made 
during this period. Why? Because the water contained all the 
gases and curative qualities, and the bather got immediate 
direct action of same. 

Our bath house gives bathers the same conditions. 

Sanitary steel enamel cases are furnished each person in 
whicli to keep robe, towels and bath outfits separate. .Ml bath 
outfits or accessories used in taking the bath are thoroughly 
sterilized each day after use. 

There are no rugs, carpets or other floor coverings, nor up- 
holstered furniture, and all floors are graded to drain to a sani- 
tary trap, making it possible to flood with water and flush the 



After-Bath Sweat Room.

40x40 ft., wlierc the air is dry, fresh and clean. It is a 
scientific fact that germs will live and travel in moist air in- 
definitely, while in dry air they will not, consequently the 
Maurice has supplied a bathing lounge entirely separate 
from the bath room, following the European custom in this 
feature. You are not inhaling the 
exhalations of hundreds of sicl< 
patients taking baths as is the 
case where you bathe and sweat 
in the same room. The same 
idea is carried out in our hot 
room, the air being dry and 
clean and changed every ten min- 
utes. 

.Adjoining the batliing lounge 
is a complete hydrotherapy de- 
partment. Exercise is also an im- 
Dortant factor in your cure. We 
have two large gymnasiums, one 
for men and one for ^comcn, 
which are equipped with the lat-

system is of the most ni->derii

Buckstaff Baths 



I HIS new bath house was completed last sprii 

$125,000 and is, without doubt, the most complete and luxurious 
bathing establishment in the United States. Several touri^t^ 

who have visited most of the European resorts have said that 

although Europe has larger bath houses, there is not one that has as 
many modern conveniences or sanitary features as the Buckstaff. 

When one realizes that the temperature of the water is perhaps the 
most essential feature of the Hot Springs baths, it will be conceived 
how thoroughly the designers of this bathing palace have studied the 
science of giving a therapeutic bath. 

But the regular hot water bath is only one of the splendid phases of 
the magnificent hydrotherapeutic equipment of the Buckstaff. Every mod- 
ern method of hot water treatment, and all the accumulated apparatus

The Lamar 

I HIS fine bath house was named in honor of the 
late Justice Lamar, of the United States Supreme 

Court, while he was Secretary of the Interior. It 

:is built near the close of his term, and was the best 
i^rected under his administration. 

It is the first bath house on the Government Reser- 
vation, going north on Central Avenue, and gets its 
supplv of water from the Big Iron Spring — the largest 
and one of the hottest. 



The Lamar has the largest parlors and bathing halls 
of any bath house in the city; thirty bath tubs, douche, 
shower, needle, and every kind of bath given at this 
resort. The bath halls and cooling rooms are all fur- 
nished with enamel couches and reclining chairs. 

The tubs are of Motts' latest improved rolled rim 
and solid porcelain, some being of extra size for large 
people. The whole establishment is heated by steam, 
and the plumbing is of the best, and sanitary through- 
out. 




Men's Bathing 



The second floor is fitted up with seventy-five private 
dressing rooms ; a gymnasium, where exercise can be 
had with punching bags and other equipments for man- 
ual training; handsomely furnished reading and writ- 
ing rooms, toilets, etc. 

The electro-massage department is under the per- 
sonal supervision of graduate massagists, both male 
and female. The bath attendants are experienced bath- 
ers and under the personal supervision of the medical 
directors of the United States Government.

Tlie management is under Mr. F. J. Adelman. The 
owner, Mr. M. C. Tombler, deserves mijch credit for 
giving the Springs such an important institution as The 
I--amar, and anyone will appreciate and admire his new 
improvements. While the management of the house is 
under the regular care of Mr. Adelman, Mr. Tombler 
exercises a thorough supervision over the whole busi- 
ness, and is indefatigable in his efforts not only to 
keep up the high reputation The Lamar already enjoys, 
but to improve it in e\ cry manner possible.

The New Hot Springs Bath House 

I HIS substantial bath house is constructed of white cut stone 
and pressed brick and is situated on Fountain Street, less than 
a hundred feet from Central Avenue, and immediately oppo- 
site the Arlington Hotel and the United States Government Reser- 
vation, It is one of the best in the city and the last of the large 
bath houses built, is conveniently arranged, with office, parlors, re- 
ception and cooling rooms, all of which are splendidly furnished. 
The bath rooms are constructed upon the latest and best approved 
plans, with improved porcelain tubs : the partitions are made of 
Italian marble, and every appliance for giving all kinds of baths, 
including tub, vapor, douche, shower, German-needle and electric. 
Two upper stories are devoted to furnished rooms elegant in their 
appointments. These are nicely conducted and everything is so 
neat that all who find vacant rooms are in very good fortune, as it 
is desirable at all times to room conveniently to baths, and espe- 
cially so when the quarters are satisfactory. Nothing is over the 
bathing department, which is well lighted and ventilated from above. 
The whole building is heated by steam and lighted by electricity 
and gas. The whole house was built with great care, also furnished 
regardless of cost. Tlie front office has recently been enlarged.

mailed upon receipt of request for the same. Those not having 
engaged quarters elsewhere can come direct to this house and se- 
cure comfortable rooms without delay.

Majestic Hotel and Bath House 

I HIS hotel, built of brick and stone, is the newest of the 
large hotels of Hot Springs. Every floor is practically 
a ground floor, as each floor opens out upon the moun- 
tainside, thus minimizing the danger to life and property in 
case of fire. There is not an inside room in the building. All 
are delightfully cool in summer and comfortably warm in 
winter, and command a good view of the "Valley of the 
Vapors." All the apartments are well and completely fur- 
nished, and arranged to be used single or en suite. Every 
room is supplied with hot and cold running water, steam heat, 
electric and gas light, and local and long distance telephone. 
Si.xty-five of the largest rooms have private bath and toilet 
in connection, in addition to the conveniences named above. 
The grand dining room is finished in cherry, and is airy, well- 
lighted, and conveniently reached from any room in the hotel. 
It has a comfortable seating capacity of three hundred and 
sixty persons. 

The bill of fare is changed daily, and consists of the best 
the market affords. A unique and appreciable feature of the 
hotel is that the bath house, where the hot mineral water baths 
are given, is located upstairs, and has no public street en- 
trance, but is easily reached from any room in the hotel by 
way of stairs or elevator ; thus guests may go to the bath 
house in robes and slippers, and after the bath, return to their 
rooms to rest before dressing, which is always advisable. In 
this way one avoids the danger of taking cold by going into 



the outer air too soon after the bath, as well as the fatigue 
attending a hot bath. The water used in the bath house comes 
directly from the Hot Springs Reservation. 

During the past year the bath house has been entirely re- 
modeled to conform with the latest ideas in bath house equip- 
ment as used in this country and Europe. The floors and 
walls have been set with marble tiling, and new fixtures and 
appliances installed, suitable for giving a Hot Springs mineral 
water bath, according to any individual desire or physician's 
prescription. Included in the equipment are two complete 
hydrotherapeutic rooms. An entirely new heating and ven- 
tilating system has been installed, which changes and heats 
the air in each and every room every ten minutes, and this, 
with the other improvements, makes the MAJESTIC BATH 
HOUSE the most complete in its appointments and sanitary 
condition of any bath house operated in connection with a 
hotel in Hot Springs, and the equal of any bath house in 
Bath House Row. or in the city. 

The Majestic Hotel is a most popular family resort and 
special rates are made for families and parties, and it is open

Mountain Valley Hotel and Mineral Springs. 



Mountain Valley Springs 

nHE Mountain Valley Springs are located twelve miles 
north of Hot Springs, Ark., well up in the Ozark 
Mountains, over 200 feet higher than Hot Springs, and 
800 feet above the level of the sea. Its situation is most de- 
lightful, surrounded on every side by rugged mountains cov- 
ered bv pine and fir trees. The atmosphere is pure and health- 
ful. 

A modern hotel has recently been built and is especially 
adapted for the care and comfort of the sick. It is under 
the managemenr of Col. Jno. W. Campbell. 

The Springs are now known and patronized by people 
from every part of this country. 

The terms at the hotel are reasonable. The food is fur- 
nished from the farms in the vicinity, and is good and whole- 
some and is carefully prepared according to the tastes and 
necessities of each individual. While a rigid dietary is not 
enforced, it is encouraged, and recommended. Suitable food 
is offered the diabetic and a carefully selected diet for the 
man with Bright's disease, for it has been observed that the 
water is much more efficacious when the strictest hygienic 
laws are obeyed.

Partial list of diseases cured and benefited are named in 
the comments ot chemist : 

Washington, D. C, March 15, 1901. 
The water in the Mountain \'alley Spring is an excellent iron water 
and also contains calcium phosphate. On account of these two con- 
stituents, this water should be beneficial in cases of anemia, and gener- 
al debility, where a tonic is required. The presence of lithium chlo- 
ride, potassium chloride, potassium iodide and magnesium and calcium 
hicarbonates in this water, makes it extremely beneficial in cases of 

an increased flow of urine (Li CI; K I), while others (Li CI; K CI); 
Mg (IICO„); Ca (HCO„) form with the uric acid in the blood a 
soluble salt which is more easily passed off than the uric acid itself.

The Mountain Valley Springs Co., 

Gentlemen: I have made a careful examination of the Mountain 
\'alley Spring Water and I find the same to be radio-active. 

I find this radio-activity to be due to substances dissolved in the 
water and not merely to dissolved emanation. 

Yours very truly. 
F.nwARD H. Keiser. Professor of Chcmislrv.

rheumatism, gout and dropsy. 

On account of the popularity of this water, t
